Contextual Overview
1
A prayer for a time of suffering, when anyone feels weak and wants to tell their complaints to the Lord .
Lord , hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help. 2 Don't turn away from me when I have troubles. Listen to me, and answer me quickly when I cry for help. 3 My life is passing away like smoke. My life is like a fire slowly burning out. 4 My strength is gone— I am like dry, dying grass. I even forget to eat. 5 Because of my sadness, I am losing so much weight that my skin hangs from my bones. 6 I am lonely, like an owl living in the desert, like an owl living among old ruined buildings. 7 I cannot sleep. I am like a lonely bird on the roof. 8 My enemies insult me all the time. They make fun of me and use me as an example in their curses. 9 My great sadness is my only food. My tears fall into my drink. 10 You were angry with me, so you picked me up and threw me away.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
By reason of the voice of my groaning,.... Under the burden of sin, and pressure of afflictions:
my bones cleave to my skin; was quite emaciated, reduced to a skeleton, became nothing but skin and bone e; which sometimes is occasioned, as by outward afflictions, so by soul troubles: or "to my flesh" f; flesh is put for skin; see Job 19:20.
e "Ossa atque pellis sum", Plauti Capteivei, Act. 1. Sc. 2. v. 26. Asinaria 3. 6. v. 28. f לבשרי "carni meae", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
By reason of the voice of my groaning - By suffering and trouble, so great as to produce groaning, my flesh is wasted away.
My bones cleave to my skin - Margin, “flesh.” The Hebrew word means “flesh.” The effect described is that of a wasting away or an emaciation of flesh from deep distress, so that the bones became prominent, and had nothing to hide them from view; so that they seemed to adhere fast to the flesh itself. See the notes at Job 19:20.
